An exciting opportunity to own the first ever postage stamp in the world – an original Penny Black, dating back over 175 years to 1840. Invented by Rowland Hill, this historic issue features an iconic portrait of Victoria, aged just fifteen, based on a sketch by artist, Henry Corbould. The most famous issue of all time remains highly sought-after worldwide but the vast majority of original stamps have now disappeared. Only a strictly limited quantity now available from The Jubilee Mint on a first-come first-served basis. Luxury Presentation Folder included.
